Elway Hands Houston Upset

Denver 24   Houston 17
John Elway and the Broncos move on to the
AFC Conference title game.
John Elway threw for 2 touchdowns and Steve Atwater return an interception 47yds for a score to give Denver a 24-17 playoff win over the Houston Oilers.  Houston did not have an answer for Elway who completed 30 of 43 passes for 296yds and 2tds.  On the other side, Warren Moon threw 3 second half interceptions that all but sealed the Oiler's fate.  Houston did make it interesting by driving to the Denver 4 yardline with 0:45 sec. left to play, but they could not punch across the tying touchdown.  Denver advances to the AFC Championship game where they will meet San Diego who has beaten them in both previous meetings this season.
